A hacksaw should do the trick. The framing is aluminum.

yvonne Quarles on Jul 13, 2003

My ceiling in my den has always been uneven, my kids and I did it ourselves. We needed at that time extra room despartely. I couldn't aford a carpenter. I'm tired of looking at the uneveness, even if other people dosen't notice it. I want to lower and even it up. I want to used drywall. I have ceiling tile as of now. Could tell me what materials I may need and give me how to instruction on this project. Thank You, Yvonne

My husband just brought home 3/8" drywall. We are finishing a 4 season sunroom and had removed the house siding. Can we use this ? He bought home 5 sheets.It will go on either plywood or some foam insulation
